I have no knowledge to challenge my own statement here but I suspect that yesterday was probably the first time in history that a college doubleheader was played in Division 1 baseball and two former Gryphons were the starting pitchers for one team in that doubleheader.
Benton Moss pitch the first game of the North Carolina-Georgia Tech Double header in which Benton pitched into the sixth inning giving up four runs but only two were earned to win his fourth college baseball game with only two losses. Once again sloppy Carolina defense helped more runs cross the plate than what should have other wise Benton pitch as well as expected.
Carolina played a double header yesterday just about like all teams in North Carolina did that had a game scheduled for Sunday when the forecast called for weather like we are having outside today which was a good call to play two Saturday.
Carolina sent Hobbs Johnson to the mound in game two and certainly the way Hobbs has pitched this entire season he is getting more and more opportunity to be given the ball when something important is on the line not just mopped up duty. Hobbs carried a shutout into the seventh inning before he surrendered a home run and found himself in a 2-2 game.
My question at the pitching rotation Mike Fox used this weekend has Benton jumped up to be the Saturday Starter and has Hobbs pitched so well this spring he has jumped all the way from a lightly used pitcher to the #3 starter. Next weekend we will find out.
